I knew I would come home to find at least one boy had stayed behind

When I left Chugiak to return home, I wondered which of the boys I would find had decided not to go back to Anchorage with their parents but to stay in Wasilla with their grandparents. When I had earlier left the house to go to Chigiak, in theory they were all going to go home. But I knew they wouldn't. These are the two who remained behind, Kalib and Jobe.

What I witnessed tonight in Chugiak is well worth a report here, but I think I will wait until tomorrow to do it. I could spend the whole day tomorrow just blogging about today. But then, I can't afford to spend the whole day at it. I'll give it some time, though.

Tears fell but we had to go anyway

Shortly after I entered the house, Lavina pulled up with the two older boys. They got out of her car and ran straight to our car. They wanted to come home to grandma and grandpa's house. But they have school tomorrow. They have to stay. This caused Jobe to fall into his mother's arms and weep. "I want to go to grandmas house!"

It was kind of hard, but Margie and I had to go out the door and leave them. We have now reached Taco Bell in Eagle River. I am starving. Haven't eaten since breakfast.
